Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the most highly-anticipated live-action adaptations coming to the streaming platform. The show, which is based on the American animated series that premiered on Nickelodeon on February 21, 2005, is currently filming in Canada, and now, a new behind-the-scenes photo is pitting the protagonist Aang with Fire Lord Ozai.
The BTS photo was originally posted on star Gordon Cormier's Instagram account, and it features him (Aang) and Daniel Dae Kim (Firelord Ozai) sparring. The 12-year-old actor looks ready to play the role of the show's hero, and Kim surely looks fierce with Ozai's fire-bending pose.
